Today We Fight Back . . . .

Since June, ongoing revelations about the NSA's activities have shown us the expanding scope of government surveillance. Today is the day people around the world are demanding an end to mass spying.A broad coalition of organizations, companies, and individuals are
loudly voicing their stance against unwarranted mass spying—over 6,000
websites have joined together today to demand reform. EFF stands by
millions of users—represented by groups like Demand Progress, ACLU, PEN,
and Access as well as companies like Google, Twitter, Mozilla, and
reddit—to reform governmental collection of innocent users' information.
